Default Tail light problems?

Just curious, has any one had any problems blowing rear tail light bulb pretty often. A couple of weeks ago, I had a right rear tail go out. Replaced it with a new one and instantly the left rear went out. Replaced it then, a week later the right was back out? I have a 2009 screw fx4, any ideas?

Fortunately mine has not had any problems, but I will say I do not like the reverse lights. I don't know at the slightest what could cause your problem, is your truck still under warranty? If it is let ford fix your truck

So... schedule it for when they can get you a loaner. You don't have to be mean about it but if you are willing to make it when convenient for them, you can make it happen. If that particular dealer won't budge, it's time to find another dealer to do business with. It took me 5 tries to find a good one... worth it.

Yeah, I'm gonna talk with them. I'm new to the area and have no clue who to use(South Houston). My old dealer would jump through hoops for me, I guess you buy 5 cars in 6/7 years and they do that for you, lol.
